Matter of Baird, Patrick Co. v. Epstein

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 6, 1997
244 A.D.2d 155 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

November 6, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Elliott Wilk, J.).


The general rule, that a voluntary discontinuance of an action or proceeding does not toll or extend the Statute of Limitations (see, Matter of Finkelstein [Harris], 17 A.D.2d 137, lv denied 12 N.Y.2d 646) is inapplicable here, where the parties stipulated to discontinue this timely-commenced arbitration proceeding without prejudice to its reinstitution upon the occurrence of a specified future event. Thus, the agreement of the parties should be given its intended effect (see, George v. Mt. Sinai Hosp., 47 N.Y.2d 170, 180-181).
